Well what a lovely week it’s been. Its been gorgeous weather hasn’t it? In some parts it’s been hotter here than it his in places like Rio and Tenerife. This may be because Tenerife is suffering from particularly bad weather, but hey, as a northerner I’ll take what I can get and as long as the sun is just about peeping from behind the clouds, I’ll definitely be in my flip-flops and shorts.

It’s also been a great week because it’s been the big week of the Newcastle Musical Theatre Company’s production of Grease, which is on at the Theatre Royal.

It’s a production I am a part of and have loved every minute of the rehearsal process. Yeah, sure it’s been tiring and there’s some days I’ve turned up to do the Capital Breakfast show in my pyjamas with only one contact lens in because I’ve been so unbelievably exhausted from rehearsals the night before, but wow it’s been so worth it.

I’d even say it’s been the best fun of my life and I wouldn’t have changed any of it, although it’s been well nerve-racking. Most of this week we’ve had just about a full house, so there’s been really no escape.

You can see people from the stage as well, there’s no ‘sea of faces’ effect, you can distinctly make out from the facial expressions the audience members are pulling and see straight away whether you’re doing a good job or not and whether you’re being fantastic or just hitting bum notes.

I think I’ve done OK. I hope. You see, the character I’ve been doing – Rizzo – well she’s a proper nasty little so and so if the truth be told and I hope I’ve been nasty enough, but also don’t want people to think I’m like that in real life! I hope not!!!

I’ll be gutted when it’s all over because I’ve made some really good friends, the rest of the cast are not only dead canny but also wickedly talented and I really hope we all stay really good friends too.

Also this week it’s been well exciting back in the Capital studio, as we had the lovely union J lads in on Tuesday. Did you know Josh from Union J lost his thumb in a weird rifle accident when he was younger?

I love lads with a battle scar, so now it’s easy for me to decide which one my fave member is! It was a bit of a funny interview, with the lads sharing what was in their internet history and which celebrity they’d had a wee next to!

Bizarre, but they’re very funny lads. If you missed any of the interview, you can catch it at Capitalfm.com or Facebook.com/capitalnortheast.
